HP Color LaserJet 2600n

REVIEW DATE:06.22.05

HP Color LaserJet 2600n

REVIEW

By M. David Stone

With a lower price than some ink jet printers, the HP Color LaserJet 2600n ($400 street) is well positioned to take over the ink jet slot on desktops and small networks. It's ideal for SOHO users wanting to move up to a laser, as well as anyone who has a personal printer in his or her office to augment the network printer down the hall.

Bottom Line

The HP Color LaserJet 2600n ties for the title of lowest-price color laser to date. But it ups the ante by including an Ethernet connection. Even better, it offers reasonably good performance and output quality, making it a strong contender as the low-cost color laser of choice.

Pros

Good performance for the price. Excellent text and good or better graphics and photo quality. Includes Ethernet connector.

Cons

The ratings of good for photos and the high end of good for graphics are below the best available for color lasers.
